Our hamster Sam passed away yesterday. He was 2 1/2 years old and according to a website I found, that translates into 80 human years old. Sam will be missed.

What the hell? Heath Ledger dead? He was only 28 - that's way too young! And his poor daughter...it's looking right now like maybe an accidental overdose on sleeping pills in my opinion. And what's weird is he died and was found the same was as Brian Epstein all those years ago....
And now whenever Christina or I say "You saying I'm not a pretty guy?" it'll make me sad.
Geeze.

**Disclaimer: If you don't have a sense of humor when it comes to death, read no further.**

So last week I had gone upstairs to change clothes while my friend Christina checked her email. As I was coming back down, I was making "in pain" noises because my calves were sore.

Christina: Are you okay?

Me: Yeah, my legs just hurt.

Christina: You know who's NOT okay? Evel Kenievel. He's dead.

Just the unexpected way she broke the news made me laugh and to this day I'm still giggling over it. Maybe I'm horrible but it was funny....

On a side note, it's snowing like crazy here. Finally. Last week it was 70 degrees. About time it looked & felt like Christmas.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot that scored a hit with "Cum on Feel the Noize," was found dead in a Las Vegas home. He was 52. The cause was not immediately known.
A neighbor summoned police and paramedics Sunday to the house where he was pronounced dead, police and coroner's officials said.
There was no forced entry, and no suspicious circumstances were reported, police Officer Jose Montoya said Monday.
Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" — which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
DuBrow recorded his first solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill," and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab," came out in October 2006.
"I can't even find words to say," Quiet Riot drummer Frank Banali wrote on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow."
Determination of the cause of death was pending an autopsy and toxicology results, Clark County coroner's spokeswoman Samantha Charles said.

This is so sad - Kevin DuBrow was never a favorite of mine but I did just see him in concert a few months ago. He sounded good and he looked good...and I was too scared to ask for a picture with him. Now I'll never have the chance. My condolences to his family, friends and bandmates.
